Getting Joe Biden into the highest office will go a long way to America getting their **** together re:COVID. Having someone that listens to doctors can only help....

as both a fan of election coverage, and as a broadcaster who has worked elections for nearly 20 years, I've come to worship this John King on CNN.....- 2021 CFL Entry Draft
Further from our man Tait:- 2021 CFL Entry Draft
TL/DR: So basically, they're going to do a random draw to determine the order of what will be a snake draft. Also reducing it from 8 rounds to 6....- 2020 Thread
really appreciate that you knew EXACTLY what I was thinking when I made that comment...ha ha.- US Politics
This..... even the O/G companies seem to be more interested in achieving environmental benchmarks than the AB gov't, which just wants things to look like 1996 (...which, as we know, I'm normally a big fan of, but not in this instance....)- 2020 Thread
Chris Jones is the anti-MOS. Where MOS supposedly was on the watch, during TCs, for how players treated ladies and various office personnel (opening doors, etc), Chris Jones likely encouraged players to throw old ladies and children out of the way as they raced for exit doors....... or something to that effect.- US Politics
Seth Meyers called this last week... Sickening.- 2020 CFL Playoff Time
It's West Semi-Final Week!! We've got Calgary in Calgary this Sunday afternoon. Call me crazy, but I just have a really good feeling that with a healthy Zach Collaros, we've got a shot in this thing. If Streveler is healthy enough to run some short yardage packages, it'll help, but having Collaros starting, we've absolutely got a shot. Weather is cold, but should be a good day for football. Can't wait for Sunday!!!!!!- 2020 Thread
Nucks owners have said they are not interested in buying the Lions at this time....- US Politics
I am still laughing at "Y'all-Qaeda"...- 2020 CFL Playoff Time
Gord and Matty would be their best pairing, but Rod's not bad.....- 2020 CFL Playoff Time
I've never thought Rod Black was THAT bad, but Gord Miller is definitely the guy who should take CC's spot. But, I'd also rather have Dunigan on colour than Suitor, who I really dislike.- 2020 CFL Playoff Time
Most of this is useless, but toward the end they mention that TSN is planning "extensive" Grey Cup coverage, week of Nov 16-22. I'll take it...- 2021 (??) CFL Season
a little bit of info here, anyhow.... they're REALLY going to try hard to find a way to play in a "worst case scenario" situation, and hope it doesn't come to that...- US Politics
they're already here....Sask got a provincial majority with a Trump-believing government, and lord knows Alberta has been this way for a long time now. Some would say a big chunk of Manitoba endorses a similar type of politics.- US Politics
I'm sure it's just these ridiculous endorsements by athletes getting to me, but I'm absolutely terrified right now that Trump is going to find a way to pull this off.....- Covid-19
Still do - no question. It's Quebec, MB, AB, On.... in that order. The way AB has handled things is garbage...Kenney cares about the economy, not lives.- Covid-19
Sick to my stomach thinking about this. Almost 9% tp. Lock everything down.- Covid-19
media expecting some major announcements at 12;30 today...going to be an important presser.- 2020 CFL Playoff Time
Couple things -- the broadcasts on the blurays actually belong to someone else who made me a copy. I call it "for medicinal purposes" And yes, I'm in broadcasting and am fully aware of how illegal it is to re-broadcast someone else's content. Even if there's no money being made from it, it's still wildly illegal. Moreso, I'm just wishing aloud for an opportunity to create some sort of virtual get together to watch these games..... but we'd need TSN to re-broadcast them for us to make it work. I have no idea what the logistics are, but I desperately want the CFL to get its act together regarding it's televised content from the last 60+ years. Not sure how the rights work for CBC, CFN, and TSN archival games, but we desperately need them in an on-demand format. I'll pay literally any amount per month to have legal access to those games.- US Politics
in the last two days, both Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Orr (???) publicly endorse Donald Trump...... for some reason. Bobby Orr took out a huge ad in a newspaper in the States. Just insanity. Hopefully doesn't help anything...- 2021 (??) CFL Season
well, Ambrosie didn't say much today, but he did say they're working on a plan to be able to play with no fans or limited fans next year. Not sure HOW exactly, but they're at least figuring out ways to do it if they had to. So it's something. They're doing a bunch of Grey Cup Week stuff in a few weeks (virtual) and one event is a "Fan State Of The League Address" thing with Ambrosie, so hopefully he'll have more details then. I remain hopeful...- The RIP 2020 Thread
every one of those guys on the circuit back in the day tried to get with her, but no luck. Two stories: 1) Really good songwriter pal of mine has a best friend that was a "house writer" (worked for a big publishing company in Nash) for some years. The "common knowledge" that nobody spoke about was that Dolly is actually gay, and her marriage has always been a "sham", if you will, to keep up appearances in uber-Christian Nashville. 2) Merle Haggard autobiography from back around 1980..... tells an amazing story about being out on the road, staying at some random hotel. Bang bang bang on the door at like 2am....opens it....it's George Jones. Just hammered. So the two of them sit around, drinking in the middle of the night in some shithole hotel room.....and they decide it's a good idea to phone up Dolly and try to get a date. It didn't work out. Ha ha ha. Still love that story...can only imagine. I stand by the fact that she's the most talented artist in the history of Country music...writer, singer, instrumentalist....a ridiculous talent that we might never see again. - 2020 USA ELECTION!!!!
